Install Linux without CD
Hi All
Here is my issue.
I have configure HTTP, FTP and NFS server to install RHEL 4 from anywhere in my environment. But problem is that, I need to put first CD i.e. boot disk and then choose the setup mode and install Linux.
But I need to boot without inserting boot disk. Please put some light on it how can I achieve this?

You can do this with a PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) system. This involves
setting up DHCP, TFTP and syslinux. Here is the documentation from Red Hat.
